Introduction

Any PC gamer worth their salt will probably have a decent headset in
their arsenal. Not only do they enable gaming late into the night
without disturbing the neighbours, decent headsets should pinpoint the
location of the enemy with consummate ease.

Basic headsets/headphones carry two speakers - left and right,
obviously - as well as a microphone for issuing commands.
More-expensive models ship with higher-quality components, and spending
a touch more brings into play the world of surround sound-toting
'sets - offering 5.1- and 7.1-channel audio via electrical trickery
than discrete speakers. Then, at the very top end, are the
cool Psyko
Labs 5.1s, costing a whopping $299

Speaking of surround sound headsets, Logitech unveiled the
top-of-the-line G35
at this year's CES show in Las Vegas. Promising 7.1-channel audio, the
company goes so far as to say that 'victory never sounded so
good'.

There's only one way to find out if the £100 headset, which
encroaches on Razer and Sennheiser territory, can pass
muster, so come with me as I take them for a spin.
